“Since Zhang Ruochen is already ruined and has lost the potential to continue growing, he should hand over those cultivation resources in his body and make some contribution to the Human Race’s growth. The Great Upheaval has arrived, with both the Savage Beasts and the Immortal Blood Race rising, the Human Race should also help each other and unite in order to survive the catastrophe.”
I don’t know who it was that uttered such a sentence, and instantly, it was echoed by countless cultivators.
In the Western Region, a Holy Monk from the Sangfu Temple, one of the three major branches of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Dao, appeared in the Heavenly Buddha Sacred City and released a message, “If, Zhang Ruochen is able to donate the Buddha Emperor’s Relic to the Sangfu Temple, from now on, he is the most honoured guest of the Sangfu Temple, and anyone who makes an enemy of him, is making an enemy of the Sangfu Temple. For the sake of the Buddha Emperor’s relic, the Sangwu Temple can pay any price.”
If the Buddha Emperor’s Relic was not mentioned, and the Sheng Destruction Temple came out in support of Zhang Ruochen, the crowd would still think that they were sending charcoal in the snow.
However, right now, any cultivator could hear that the Sheng Duo Temple was quite covetous of the Buddha Emperor’s Relic, and it even carried some threatening connotations, which was simply dropping a stone on the well.
For the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, there was also a message that came out, “If Zhang Ruochen can voluntarily return the Boundary Son Seal, the grudge between the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect and him can be written off. If not, the Moon Worshipping Divine Sect will send an expert to the Central Imperial City to invite his mother to the Peakless Mountain to discuss the matter with his mother.”
As the news spread, all the cultivators who were on good terms with Zhang Ruochen came forward to condemn the Moon Worshipping Fiend Cult’s practice as being too despicable.
The grudges between cultivators should not involve their family members, not to mention that Zhang Ruochen’s mother was an ordinary person who could not cultivate.
On the same day, Second Senior Brother Zhu Hongtao rushed to the frontier where the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect was located and stood at the bottom of the Peakless Mountain, cursing, “Can the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect be any more shameless in its actions? Do you really think that Zhang Ruochen’s three veins have been crippled and you can just take him down? I will throw my words here, if you guys dare to touch Zhang Ruochen’s mother, I will exterminate a hundred rudders of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect.”
Zhu Hongtao was alone, with no family or relatives to drag him down, so he wasn’t afraid of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect at all.
A Saint, if he had no scruples and went on a killing spree, it would be a rather terrifying thing. Because, with the terrifying power of a Saint, destroying a city was not too difficult.
Even for a top-tier power like the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, it would be quite a headache to encounter a saintly person who went on a rampage.
The Painting Sect’s Patriarch, Chu Siyuan, was quite displeased and showed up in an ancient city to denounce the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect for not having the temperament of an ancient sect, not speaking of moral righteousness at all, and not being worthy of calling themselves a divine sect.
Being in different camps, Chu Siyuan did not provide Zhang Ruochen with the most direct help, but being able to stand up and accuse those with ulterior motives was already quite difficult.
On the same day, Ouyang Huan, the divine Son of the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, appeared in a public place and said, ”It is true that I wanted to retake the Boundary Son Seal, however, I only wanted to retake it through my own strength, and I never used his family members to threaten him, much less dispatched any other disciples of the divine Sect to do so. There are people with evil intentions, lurking in the Divine Sect, this matter, the Divine Sect will definitely investigate thoroughly.”
Moon Worshipping Demon Cult, Holy Maiden Palace.
Ling Fei Yu had already come out of the gate, her cultivation was a level higher, and when she heard about Zhang Ruochen, she summoned Mu Lingshi and asked, “Zhang Ruochen is in quite a dangerous situation right now, has he sent a message to you to tell you where he’s hiding right now?”
“No.”
Mu Lingshi was also quite worried when she learnt of Zhang Ruochen’s encounter, yet, she did not receive a transmission from Zhang Ruochen. Now, why would she not want to find Zhang Ruochen as soon as possible?
How badly was Zhang Ruochen injured? Was he currently sleeping on the streets? Was he being pursued by his enemies?
Thinking of all these things, Mu Lingshi’s heart couldn’t calm down, wanting to leave the General Altar immediately to look for him, but she didn’t know where to look for him.
Ling Feiye said, ”Zhang Ruochen’s body has several treasures that Saint King and Great Saint level figures would be moved by. Now, someone wants to use Zhang Ruochen’s mother as bait to force him out. Go and find out which side of the force is at work.”
Ling Fei Yu gave Mu Lingshi a token, with which, he could freely enter and exit the major important places of the Divine Sect, as well as mobilise all the experts of the Sacred Maiden Palace.
“Yes.”
Mu Lingshi took the token and retreated.
“Zhang Ruochen, where exactly are you hiding?”
Ling Feiyu recited a sentence to herself, and then, in a single movement, she disappeared from the Holy Maiden Palace and appeared at the peak of a spiritual mountain.
She stood on the cliff face, her delicate body standing straight, her long hair fluttering in the cold wind, a pair of stunningly beautiful eyes gazing out at the sea of clouds below her feet, her eyes like divine swords emitting sword light.
“Wow!”
The figure disappeared and turned into a stream of light, rushing into the sea of clouds, splitting the vast sea of clouds, leaving behind a long sword path.
Originally, there weren’t many cultivators who knew that Zhang Ruochen’s mother was in the Central Imperial City.
However, after this furore, almost all cultivators knew about it.
Even though the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect really didn’t intend to use Concubine Lin to lure Zhang Ruochen out, however, there would definitely be other forces and other cultivators who did so.
The purpose of the entire incident was to compel those greedy people and show them a way out.
Concubine Lin was Zhang Ruochen’s soft underbelly.
If, indeed, Concubine Lin was captured, Zhang Ruochen would definitely show himself.
Ling Fei Yu saw the situation clearly and knew that behind the whole thing, there must be a rather powerful figure plotting. After all, those few things in Zhang Ruochen’s body were all too attractive, Saint Kings would be red-eyed, and Great Saints would be moved.
Was the person who was secretly manipulating all of this from within the Moon Worshipping Demon Sect, the imperial court, or some other force?
Since that person was using Concubine Lin as bait, he would definitely be personally sitting in the Central Imperial City, controlling the entire situation, just waiting for Zhang Ruochen to appear.
Ling Fei Yu left the Demon Sect’s main altar because he was preparing to personally go to the Central Imperial City to meet the person behind the scenes who had been leading the tempo but never showed up.
The headquarters of the Hall of Truth was built in a hidden place, not on the ground, but in the sky, located in an asteroid at a height of 100,000 feet above the ground, hidden in the clouds.
Normally speaking, an asteroid could not appear in a place so low to the ground.
In actuality, that asteroid was a Divine Remnant Ancient Land, a place where a deity had once resided, with many mysteries, without the leadership of the inner staff of the Hall of Brightness, it was considered that a Saint would not be able to find it, and even more so, would not be able to board the asteroid.
At this moment, the asteroid, inside a vermillion-red magnificent building, a violent fluctuation of holy qi was emitted, forming a circle of water-like ripples that shook this piece of heaven and earth.
“Winning King, you are looking for death.”
A seven-coloured peacock rushed out of the asteroid, spreading out a pair of sky-shadowing feathered wings, carrying a murderous aura all over its body as it flew towards the northern domain.
All of the cultivators in the Hall of Brightness were trembling with fear, not understanding why the Sacred Ancestor was so angry.
It wasn’t until the figure of the seven-coloured peacock, disappeared into the sky that the pressure on their bodies was relieved and they stood up from the ground, still feeling palpitations in their hearts.
In the next few days, the treasures in Zhang Ruochen’s body, after being rendered by those who had the intention to do so, drew countless greedy cultivators into a frenzy over them.
“The Buddha Emperor’s Relic, brings together the lifelong cultivation and knowledge of the two great saints of the Buddhist Sect, the Buddha Emperor and the Golden Dragon, so as long as you refine it, you will surely be able to become a great emperor of the Human Race in the future.”
“Zhang Ruochen grasps a tripod shaped Divine Legacy Ancient Artifact that is infinitely powerful, even the Immortal Blood Clan’s God-Extinguishing Cross Shield is more powerful, as long as one obtains it, it’s enough to allow a clan to carry on its legacy for ten thousand years without being extinguished.”
“The Sinking Abyss Ancient Sword is forged from the same material as the Blood Dripping Sword, it can devour other battle weapons and continuously advance, and it has the potential to evolve into a divine weapon in the future.”
“Zhang Ruochen has obtained the treasury of the Green Dragon Dynasty and holds the World Spirit of the Green Dragon Market Realm, so as long as we find him, we can obtain inexhaustible wealth.”
……
The cultivators of the Kunlun Realm all went crazy, itching to immediately pull out Zhang Ruochen and divide everything in his body. Even Zhang Ruochen’s flesh and blood was described as a supreme treasure that could enhance a cultivator’s physique with just one bite.
Anyone with a modicum of intelligence could tell that there was a black hand behind the scenes fanning the emotions of the crowd, wanting to mobilise the entire Kunlun Realm’s cultivators to find Zhang Ruochen out.
In the eyes of the crowd, Zhang Ruochen was now a useless man with no hands, and as long as he was found, even an ordinary martial artist could take him down, seize the treasures in his body, and quickly grow into a supreme expert.
Such thoughts, once bred, were enough to make a normal person lose his mind.
Who wouldn’t want to be like Zhang Ruochen, reigning supreme in the young generation, laughing and boasting of an era, battling divine sons and descending holy daughters, becoming a great man who would make everyone envious and worshipful?
Zhang Ruochen, who was in the middle of his cultivation, was unaware of these things happening in the outside world.
Spending seven days in a row, Zhang Ruochen took a large amount of Green Dragon Divine Dew, and his mental strength went up one level to fifty-two orders.
Every step up in mental strength was a huge improvement.
A fifty-two stage spiritual power cultivator was theoretically able to at least fight against Realm Saints, and some of its characters who had cultivated advanced spells or mastered a powerful Spiritual Power Saint Weapon were even able to kill Xuan Huang Realm Saints.
One must know that even the Earth Goddess Temple’s Divine Fate Fairy Concubine and the Immortal Goddess Fluorescence of the Immortal Goddess Temple’s Immortal Goddess, their current spiritual strength was only at the fifty-third rank.
However, they both possessed extraordinary treasures that were sufficient to crush all opponents as long as they didn’t encounter True Saint level beings.
“With a spiritual strength of fifty-two steps, one can mobilise their spiritual power and construct fifty percent of the entire bloodline system within their body.”
The bloodline system within Zhang Ruochen’s body became more complete, his body regained some activity, and under the nourishment of the Chaotic Qi, every moment, his physical body became stronger.
It could be predicted that if he was able to reconstruct the complete blood vein system and condense real blood vessels, Zhang Ruochen’s physical realm and the power that erupted out of it would definitely reach another level.
